I just got 4000ft out of mine riding in snow (harder going on the climbs) in a sunny -3deg Innerleithen.
pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, I will definitely have a moan. I did a PDI (Post Delivery Inspection), here’s what I found:Re the fork damage, this sounds same as mine, I had a couple of annoying scratches which I moaned about and got £75 rebate. 2 mins with a black permanent marker sorted it right out! I’ve even got some new snazzy lyrik decals that I may apply yet too. Have a winge, defo worth it
That's bloody good going. Eco?
Oh, OK. I thought it would keep things cleaner and stop crud getting into the area of the motor where the cables plug in. Those cable ties were very tight. After reinserting the dropper post, I cable tied the cable, but made the ties less tight.you dont need to cover the cable area, its designed so that anything that goes in there goes out the gap at the back, when you wash the bike it will come out.
When I replaced the dropper, Ikept but cut down the OEM cable outer, and just replaced the inner. One of the main culprits for the kinking is over tight zip ties on the dropper cable by the shock.
Thanks R120, used my iPad and followed your instructions. Connected and all sortedAnd for you 2019 owners I have just figured out a workaround for getting the app to work with the bike, I posted it in another thread but will repost here:
"I have now figured out and tested a workaround.
If you unplug the e7000 controller, you can access the app, and change all the settings etc.
Now the bright sparks amongst you will have figured out that you need the controller plugged in to activate the bluetooth connection!
So what you have to do, is activate the bluetooth connection on the bike, then unplug the e7000 controller, then connect with the app. App connects fine, but instead of the usual 3 items its shows up (controller, motor, battery) it just has motor and battery - you can access the motor customisation etc etc.
I also tried plugging in the e7000 once the app had connected, and this didn't disconnect it or do anything weird, but the controller didn't show up on the app.
Bare in mind I have already paired my bike with the app some time ago, so dont know how this would affect a first time connection.
When you have finished just disconnect via the app, and then plug the controller back in
Voila!
As an FYI I use the iPad version of the app."
and that's a 150mm dropper?
What really frightening, is that many of these people voteI see that there is another VR on the Tri-Sports eBay site. Damaged, no charger, no docs and no pedals (that's no loss). 27 bids so far and with 4 hours to go it is already at £3,000.00! I really wonder, and worry, about people.
No. What's really frightening is that any human being votes.What really frightening, is that many of these people vote
I suspect that's a re-listing of the previous one - the original buyer probably went rather quiet. Stupid prices I agree, but I'm surprised they're able to say "no warranty"; as a business, I would have thought they would have to offer warranty unless they describe the item as a collection of parts.Winning bid is £3,125.00 [ 28 bids ] + Postage: £14.99 Economy Delivery
Yep lol, gonna rename it the vitus green goblinBlimey, you really have embraced the green!

I notice that if you buy an E-Sommet from Wiggle (as opposed to CRC) it looks like you get a free 30 day trial. What happens to all the bikes that come back after a 30 day trial with wear on the tyres and brake pads, mileage on the motor, charge cycles on the battery, cable-wear scuffs on the head tube, shoe sole scuffs on the cranks, etc? Do they simply get auctioned on ebay by Tri-Sports?
I guess the point is mate that with smart wiggle discounts you could get this bike new, no damage and with full warranty for £3k like a few of us did. Even now with 12% platinum it’s £3300, granted you got to spend £500 or know someone with platinumI'm new here but have had my first e-bike (Haibike) back in 2012. I've just bought a 2nd hand Levo carbon, but in hindsight would have gone for this eBay Vitus mentioned above. It has done ONLY 12 miles (so how bad can it be, pictures look fine), a new charger is £150, so £500 saving off new....that sounds pretty good to me. Sure there is no warranty, but warranty does NOT move with 2nd hand bikes either. Plus, if you are properly riding a bike like this then will no longer look new after only a few of my rides!
I made another mistake not buying off Rutland when the Kenevos were £4125 (all sold out), so I asked for pictures of the demo Levos and Kenevos they have......they were all abused, scuffed up loads, that Vitus on ebay is immaculate in comparison.
Finally, who needs manuals these days? All the documentation is downloadable on-line for free?!?

BC dropped their discount to £10 which is crap. I’d happily buy someone a bike with my platinum discount but would want the money up front and they would need to come and collect. Unless you can get it delivered to another address than the registered payment card addressIf only I'd know someone with platinum! Does the BC discount still apply also? I read that some bought bikes with it previously? .
